Elihu is mentioned as one of the sons of Shemaiah, who was a gatekeeper of the temple during the reign of King David (1 Chronicles 26:7). Elihu and his brothers were described as capable men with the strength to do the work. They served in the role of gatekeepers, which involved guarding the entrances to the temple and ensuring that only authorized individuals were allowed to enter. The Bible does not provide any further details about Elihu's life or his specific duties as a gatekeeper.
